according to pagan Estonians.
From their web site:
"The native believers and other people appreciating local traditions use the so-called Billingen catastrophe as the beginning of their chronology. After the last ice age (a) region of the Baltic Sea was covered with the arctic (ice) lake. One day in middle of Sweden it broke its way to the Atlantic. During one single year the water level decreased more than 20 meters. At the same time, thousands of square kilometres of Estonian land appeared from the water. The native believers call it poetically 'the birth of the land'. "
